the “svati.” One from each fam ily meet at the door of the bride’s home, bo ih bear in or bread, salt and hol'y candles. 1 bey kiss each other, place iheir right foot across the threshold, and then very ceremoniously douse the candles by fusing the lighted ends together, all the more to show the bond of the two clans. The clans show tiheіr mutual affection and agreement towards the union by participating in the making of ‘'korovay” ('bread, analogous to our wredding cake). One by one they place ground wheat of dif ferent species into a large dish. All the women assist in mixing the flours and the special ingredi ents, then they design the finish ed loaf. The “korovay” is decor ated with colored eg*gs, fruits, nuts and any other material that would add to the beauty of the “korovay.” They receive a por tion of whiskey or rare wine as a gift, a token of the bride’s appre ciation. Two weeks before the wedding day the bride begins her long journey to neighboring villages to ask friends and relatives to the wedding. She has many flowers in her hair and many multi-color ed ribbons hanging from her coif fure. Accompanied by the maid’s of her marriage train, she enters each house, bows to each elderly person three ’cimes, kisses their hands and face and invites them to the wedding. They give her an expected blessing. The bride then turns to each girl in the family, kisses them on the face and asks them to come. The boys she mere ly asks. When the last person in the last village has been invited, ’the bride returns as a select group of her own village sings. One week before the wedding the bride repeats the same ceremony in her own village. (To be continu ed ) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR March 23 Detroit, Mich.
